OCR A2 Psychology

Here you will find all the revision materials you need for OCR A2 Psychology, unit G543, and G544.

Understanding the categories of each study is vital to succeeding in your OCR A2 Psychology exam. Each unit has 4 main categories inside it. The bare minimum you have to learn is two units and three categories from each. For example let’s look at one unit: Forensic Psychology. You could pick to learn: Turning to Crime, Making a Case and Reaching a Verdict and you would not have to learn After a guilty verdict.

Health and Clinical is one of the units in OCR A2 Psychology Unit G543.

This page has been written to help you understand the structure of the health and clinical unit from your OCR A2 Psychology G543 exam.

In order to revise effectively for this Psychology exam you will need to know all the categories and subsections of this unit, as the questions you will be asked will relate directly to the categories first, not the studies as was the case in AS psychology, for example in your A2 Psychology exam you will never be asked a question with the name of a specific study in the question.

So to revise effectively, you will need to know all the categories. In the sidebar you will find a form to get a free Psych Yogi revision guide to further help you with you studies.

I was just looking through some of these studies and at the top it says as a bare minimum you have to know 2 units so I’ve been taught Forensic and Health and Clinical, and then you only have to know 3 categories e.g. Making a case, Reaching a verdict and After a guilty verdict. Why is this? Just for clarification I could get away with only revising those categories? Why could I leave one out?

In the exam you have the option to choose 2 of 4 questions per unit. There is a chance that they will ask two questions on two sections, therefore you need to learn a minimum of 3 sections to ensure that you can answer at least two of the option in the exam. Learning only 3 sections per unit may leave you with no choice of the questions you can answer.
